day turns to night and night returns to day
the cycle is the same the actors not
what seems to matter is the blasted play
no one’s the winner in the long affray
a little difficult to change the plot
day turns to night and night returns to day
a common fact no matter what we say
the sort of thing that no one has forgot
what seems to matter is the blasted play
the long parade has gone wholly astray
far off the road and moving at a trot
day turns to night and night returns to day
while all the towers are falling back to clay
an entire city’s now an empty lot
what seems to matter is the blasted play
the only truth is knowledge of the way
out of the devastation and the rot
day turns to night and night returns to day
what seems to matter is the blasted play
